Is my decision to quit wrong ?
So, 2026 is my third attempt & it's going to be my second mains. I cleared 2024 pre in my first attempt but failed in mains. In 2025, i failed to clear prelims. The thing is, this prep has been exhausting. I was never consistent except for maybe during my first attempt for proper 6 months. Now that I've got the chance to write my 2nd mains, ideally i should be preparing in full swing. Instead, I'm being anxious & the burnout really got me. I'm unable to study anything from the past one week. Now, i just want to get over with the exam.
I've decided to leave the prep and try for some other job , maybe IT since I come from engg background . Else, I may look for an MBA Program. Please don't say things like ...prepare properly for next 2 months and then think . Everyone is saying the same thing and it is frustrating tbh. I want to know if my decision of leaving this prep will lead to regret or is it good to secure my mental health atp.
The stress really got the point ki I'm crying whenever I start to talk with someone on call, be it my father , mother , friends. Today , my father who was unable to see me crying just asked me to leave everything and come home..he became emotional because I'm stressing myself too much. I'm crying almost daily. I'm unable to sleep .
Sometimes, it's just feeling like is this all stress even worth it. My friends on the other hand are saying things like, you shouldn't quit and you should give exam pakka. It's really irritating. My mind is totally messed up & my eyes become swollen. I'm unable to study at all . What should I do ?
